I got an email yesterday from a very excited mother who just had to sing the praises of her latest Beijing discovery, CC Sweets.
Here’s what she had to say:
“I just had amazing sugar free cupcakes from Carol Chow. She also makes regular sugar ones, but will cater to any dietary requirements you have.
“Now, I don’t even like cupcakes, usually I find them too sweet and either too fluffy or too heavy… these were perfect. We had pumpkin and strawberry shortcake, both in mini sizes to bring to my son’s school for his birthday. They were a huge hit with everyone (especially the pumpkin). The pumpkins themselves actually come from her garden at their weekend place in the countryside, so maybe that is why they were especially nice!”
As a confessed cupcake lover, I was a tad suspect as I don’t rate Beijing very highly on my cup-cake-meter, but I followed the link and couldn’t believe my eyes when I landed on the homepage. Wonderful custom made parcels of sugary carbs, ready to order at the click of a mouse. What I love most of all, is that this site is bilingual.
Carol Chow is an American/Chinese mother of 3-year-old twins, and if you’d like to order some of her yummy baked goodies, e-mail cchow68@gmail.com or visit her website.
